The National Defence Bill.


WASHINGTON, February 81. - The

to-day completed its bill to provide for
the national defence, and it will be pre-
sented to the House as soon as a report
can beprepared. Itappropriates s., 800, =,
600 for the purchase of rough-fnished
forgings for steel-rihed, higher-power
guns for coast defence of eight, ten,

for the erection and equipment OF
factory for furnishing aforesaid
heavy guns; 100000 for the con-
struction of twelve-inch rified NOR

pedoes, and submarine mines; $780,
600 for gun carriages, and $3.50, 600 for
breech-l loading steel field-guns and
their equipment. An advisory board
to have supervision over the disburse-
ment of these amounts is created, OF
which the Lieutenant General OF the
Army is ez-o6icio president. This
bill was prepared by Chairman
Bragg, and is acceptable to all
the members of the committee, al
though in the discussion which followed
its presentation it appeared that
several members favored more liberal
appropriation than is carried by the
bin. The Speaker will be consulted by
the members of the committee as to the
best method of getting the bill before
the House; but it is believed that the
chance to secure action can be found
only in the last six suspension days,
when two-thirds vote will be neces-
